## Old Armenian
### Etymology

Uncertain. The attempt to explain as inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *sm̥- (“together”) + *dóru (“tree”) is phonetically irregular, so is the proposed connection to Ancient Greek δένδρον (déndron).
Perhaps a Semitic borrowing: compare Akkadian 𒄑𒄟 ($^{GEŠ}$ILDAG$_2$ /⁠adāru, atāru, aṭāru⁠/, “an indigenous tree, probably Populus euphratica”), whence Classical Syriac ܐܳܕܰܪ (ʾāḏar). See the Syriac entry for more.
